Nurses are searching for what characterizes the nursing discipline or the nursing sciences. Publications as well as conferences have been held around the world with the aim of specifying the purpose of the discipline. However, there is no consensus on the subject. What is nursing knowledge made of? What are the foundations of the discipline, what is its purpose and what is its scientific identity?

This book by Michel Nadot provides concrete answers to the questions raised. Nadot proposes an epistemological analysis of the three phases of nursing knowledge in a unique way by following a historical chronology. Drawing on his long experience as a writer, he is keen to present the traditions of our languages and their influences on knowledge and, consequently, on the nursing discipline. Through his research as a philosopher and nurse, he proposes an innovative schematization of nursing knowledge and takes up his conceptual model in nursing sciences (health mediology) conceived through his empirical research as an alternative to the name “nursing sciences”.

This book entitled The Discipline of Nursing – Three-time Knowledge is Michel Nadot’s masterpiece, which is composed of three main parts. This volume focuses on the foundations of the discipline, a subject little discussed in Europe and the Middle East. His style of writing, the structure of the text and the illustrations provided, followed by proposals for the development of the discipline, add to the maturity of this book, which is reflected in the pleasure of an enjoyable reading, reinforced by the “image feedback” and a summary of the key ideas at the end of each part.

Nadot’s involvement in his work is that of a nurse who is both a historian and a philosopher at the same time, who tries to demonstrate in his book that the nursing discipline was built up chronologically in three stages: lay knowledge, which was documented as early as the 14th Century, protodisciplinary knowledge as early as the middle of the 19th Century, and finally scientific knowledge as early as the last third of the 20th Century.

In the first chapter of his book, Nadot argues that caring or caregiving is a three-dimensional field that gives rise to the first languages from traditions and by extracting experience and nursing practice. The basic triptych of the nursing discipline has its origins in lay knowledge: Domus (care environment)– Familia (family)– Hominem (person), and is at the center of a three-dimensional field of competences “ Domus–Familia–Hominem ”, which, according to Nadot, constitutes the foundation of the nursing discipline on which new knowledge and new roles will be superimposed.

Then, in the second part of his work, appears protodisciplinary knowledge . During this period, two distinct training models proposed by two great women marked the formalization of nursing knowledge. The first model was developed in Switzerland thanks to Valérie de Gasparin, discovered by Michel Nadot, who created the “school-hospital 1 ” training model, and the second in England with Florence Nightingale, known throughout the world and who in turn created the “hospital-school 2 ” training model. These two training models have influenced many schools around the world.

In the third chapter of his book, Nadot shows through his multiple publications that the nursing discipline was born implicitly with reference to the medical sciences; however, it is, in fact, situated in the humanities. He insists by saying that in the game of science, scientists are the only people to produce knowledge in order to obtain recognition, including recognition of the discipline in question. In this scientific part of knowledge, Nadot situates himself as an epistemologist, who aims to understand the origin of nursing sciences and the world in which the knowledge of the nursing discipline and its problematic identity develops.
